Im Gespräch: Gabriele Stötzer, Angelika Richter und Julia Grosse

The event is part of the Gropius Bau’s “Spätschicht x Gabriele Stötzer” series.
Artist Gabriele Stötzer and art historian Angelika Richter met in the mid-2000s and have remained close ever since. Richter, who has been president of the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin since 2021, is one of the few curators who took an early interest in Stötzer’s work and the interdisciplinary practices of female artists from the GDR and Eastern Europe, exhibiting their work and publishing on the subject. A key goal was to bring this important chapter of East German art history to light.
How do both women look back on this period today? What significance does it hold for Stötzer’s artistic practice and its reception today?
The conversation will be moderated by curator Julia Grosse and accompanied by drummer Sara Neidorf.
Gabriele Stötzer’s artistic practice is closely linked to her social and political activism. In 1976, she was imprisoned in the GDR on charges of “defamation of the state.” She subsequently joined the literary and artistic underground and developed an independent, radical practice that combines art and political resistance.
Registration for the event is not required, but please note that seating is limited.
At the Gropius Bau and the Stiftung Brandenburger Tor, artists, theorists, and authors will explore topics such as justice, self-assertion, and indomitable spirits this evening.
